About
The character 娠, meaning pregnancy, is structurally composed of the semantic radical 女 denoting woman and the phonetic component 辰 which primarily indicates pronunciation but may also subtly imply cyclical or temporal aspects related to gestation. Its etymology consistently associates it with the condition of carrying a child, a meaning preserved from early textual appearances through to contemporary usage. While the character is often embedded in compounds such as 妊娠, its core definition has remained narrowly focused on prenatal development without expanding into other semantic domains, reflecting a stable conceptual link between the written form and its biological reference.
